Movie and TV star Gary Sinise flew 1,000 Gold Star Family children to Disney World!
Some celebrities are giving this Holiday Season by paying off layaway accounts. That is a great thing for the celebrities to do. However, Gary decided to give to the families of men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country.
In case you are not familiar with the term, a “Gold Star Family” is one that has a member that has lost their life while serving in the United States military.
Gary used his Gary Sinise Foundation to create the “Snowball Express” program. The program just flew 1,000 children of Gold Star families (and their surviving parent for a total of 1,750 people in all) to Disney World in Florida. You can tell by the picture above that the airplane was even festively decorated for the families.
Gary posted the picture to his Twitter account along with the message, “Over 1000 Gold Star Children travel w/ surviving parent, 1,750 in all, via @americanair to Disney World today as part of our @GarySiniseFound Snowball Express program. This charter left LAX this morning. I’ll join up in a few days. Have fun kids! We love you!”
According to KCAL the “Snowball Express” flew out of 15 locations across the Nation to take the Gold Star Families to a 5-night vacation in Orlando. Florida.
Thank you for doing this for these families of heroes of the United States military Gary Sinise and Merry Christmas to YOU!
